I think the answer defensively is to let the line go. Enough of this making them stand up and chicken fighting with their blocker. Shed the blockers, get in the backfield and get the ball carrier. Yes when you have stronger faster players that type of style for your line is suitable. However, they aren't keeping blockers off of the linebackers, because Rice and Smith are consistently having to fight through traffic to get to the ball carrier. This is why we see very few tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Obviously what we have done this season has not worked like we wish it would have. So try something else, Let Dillon, Miller, Burgess, Jones, Hutchinson, and Fosson just run wild and make plays. Penetration is what kills an offense. Any coach can tell ya that. Yet we don't allow our players to penetrate. Also, since almost every team we play doesn't know what a screen pass is, which is the key factor in keeping pressure off, which is why you see so many of them on the college and pro levels.

What did SK do to us that killed our O? They brought the house on every play and wreaked havoc on our offense. Let our line run wild and let our backers get some angles on some players.

What did Ashland do to stop our offense? They brought the house, overloaded us. Why can't we do the same? Those teams are no more talented than ours.
